What Causes Tingling And Pulsing Sensation In The Groin?

A tingling sensation in the groin area. It is pulsing (coming and going) every few seconds. It is not painful, just weird. It started about 3 days ago. No other symptoms. I m 62 years old. Male in relatively good health. Just saw my Dr. for a well visit last week. No problems reported. Blood work is good. PSA test is 4.0. This symptom started after my visit. I don t think this is critical, just weird. I can t feel the vibration from the outside with my fingers. No sure what is going on. Any thoughts?

It may pudendal nerve compression or neuropathy or local herpes simplex infection or local skin irritation or varicocele etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Avoid spicy food and alcohol avoid smoking and caffeine drinks.
Avoid tight underwear and waist clothes. Use tablet Pregabalin once daily for five days.
If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
